Answer: - Anti-saccharomyces antibody test (ASCA)
- CBC (H/H, WBC)
- Heme-occult
- C-reactive protein (sign of inflammation)
,- Electrolyte panel (K due to diarrhea)
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (amount of inflammation)
- Iron and B12 levels
- KUB
- Upper endoscopy
- Barium x-rays
- CT/MRI (external view)
- Video capsule endoscopy
◉ Which tests may show lesions for patients with Crohn's disease?
Answer: - Barium x-ray - in the small intestines
- Colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy (primarily) - in the large intestines
◉ Which two lab tests measure inflammation? Answer: - C-reactive
protein
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (looks at the amount of
inflammation by measuring the amount of time it takes for
erythrocytes to fall to the bottom of the tube)
◉ What are some medications/treatments used to treat Crohn's
disease? Answer: - Aminosalicylates
- Corticosteroids
- Immunosuppressants
,- Biologics (remicade)

◉ What diet is best for patients with Crohn's disease? Answer: - Low

fully cooked/non cruciferous vegetables (help prevent
gas/bloating), low fat foods, probiotics (when there is not an
exacerbation), and nutritional shakes
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine (dehydrating and diuretics)
- Hydration and electrolyte replacement drinks
◉ What are patients with atopic dermatitis and eczema have an
increased risk for? Answer: - Crohn's disease
- Celiac disease
◉ How does patients with Crohn's disease's bowels look like?
Answer: - "Skip lesions" on the bowel tissue (mucosal lesions where
inflammation exists)
- Tissue may appear as cobblestones on biopsy
◉ What is the difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's
disease in terms of symptoms and body impacts? Answer: - Crohn's
is inflammation and scarring in the intestine (bowel) disease lining
of all of the digestive tract and worsens after eating
